Chapter 1 The Beginning of a New Life. (Or New Hell. Same difference)
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time can not erase...
Evanescence- My Immortal
It was a rainy, dreary day. Alyssa Vapire-Taillon walked through the wall between platforms 9 and 10 at King's Cross Station in London, pushing along a trolley, leaving the Muggle world along with her horrible memories behind.
When she came out on the other side she spotted a scarlet steam engine and a bunch of people hugging one another obviously saying good-bye. She turned away in disgust. She pushed her trolley to the wall and took off her duffle bag and cage of her owl. She got on the train and started toward the back keeping an eye out for an empty compartment. She passed a lot of groups of kids bragging, laughing, and discussing about what they did during the summer. She shook her head in disgust. They wouldn't be so happy if they knew what had been happening out in the world. During the summer over 50 people were murdered from Voldemort. That was one of the reasons she was here.
Don't think about that! She chided herself. You have to forget. You HAVE to! If anyone asks, you are a foreign exchange student from America living with your relatives in London. She thought back to that horrible day...
Flashback..................
Alyssa was pumping her legs, urging the bike mentally to go faster. She knew if she wasn't home by 11:00 from Shel and Mandy's her stepmother would ground her. She turned the corner onto her street quickly and pedaled toward her house.
She rounded the curve and saw a green sparkling, transparent object above her house. NO! She thought NO! This cannot be happening! She pulled into her driveway and threw down her bike. She ran to the door (At least where it should have been). The door had been blow of its hinges and was lying on the floor inside.
"Hello?!" she called "Is anyone home?" She started up the stairs calling everyone's names "Dad?! Anna?! Rachel?! Mark?! Kyle?! Janie?! Anybody home?!" She reached the living room and opened the door. On the floor lay her family, dead, each with a look of pure terror on their faces.
Above the house, the Dark Mark was present for all to see.
Flashback Ends..................
Forget it! You know why you're here! So stop bitching and find a place to sit! She thought angrily to herself. She walked all the way to the back of the train and sat down in the last compartment. She took her Portable C.D. player with Good Charlotte in it and her muggle fantasy book Ella Enchanted and started read with The Anthem blaring in her ears...
It's a new day
But it all feels old
It's a good life,
That's what I'm told
But everything, it all just feels the same
At my high school
It felt more to me
Like a jail cell, or penitentiary
My time spent there, it only made me see
That I don't ever wanna be like you
I don't wanna do the things you do
I'm never gonna hear the words you say
And I don't ever wanna,
I don't ever wanna be
You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm saying' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
You
Don't wanna be you
Go to college,
A university
Get a real job
That's what they said to me
But I could never live the way they want
I'm gonna get by
And just do my time
Out of step while
They all get in line
I'm just a minor threat so pay no mind
Do you really wanna be like them?
Do you really wanna be another trend?
Do you wanna be part of their crowd?
Cause I don't ever wanna
I don't ever wanna be
You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
You
Don't wanna be you
Shake it once, that's fine
Shake it twice, that's okay
Shake it three times, you're playing with yourself again
You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me
You
Don't wanna be just like you (just like you)
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me
Another loser anthem
Whoa-oh
Another loser anthem
Whoa-oh
Another loser anthem
Whoa-oh
Another loser anthem
She was so busy reading and listening to her music she did not notice the teenage boy that had walked into her compartment.
"Excuse me." The boy said timidly.
"Pardon me miss" He tapped her lightly. She looked up and turned off her C.D. player.
"I'm so sorry" Alyssa apologized "I wasn't paying attention."
"It's all right." The boy, she noticed had a British accent. Then again, everyone does in England she thought. "I'm looking for a seat. Do you mind if I sit?"
"No, of coarse not. Go right ahead." The girl, the boy noticed, had a very thick American accent.
"I'm Neville Longbottom, by the way. Who are you?"
"I'm Alyssa Vapire-Taillon."
"Are you sorted yet?" He asked.
"No, I will be when I get to the school."
He pulled out a copy of the Daily Prophet. The Headline read as followed: The Necromancer of Light Strikes Again. Ever since the beginning of the summer, the Necromancer of Light was the main attraction of the newspapers. (Not that the attacks Voldemort was important or anything.)
"Have you heard of him?" he asked out of the blue.
"Heard of who?"
The Necromancer of Light, of coarse."
"Yes, but how do you know it is a man?"
"I don't know for sure but everyone thinks so."
"I believe it is a woman behind it."
He gave her a strange look. "Whatever you say."
They both then retreated to into their own world. Alyssa through her book and music and Neville with his Potions essay.
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes...
Linkin Park- Numb
Draco's POV
Draco's butler Charles was pushing his trolley toward the platform with Draco strolling leisurely behind him. He had already said good-bye to everyone and could not wait to get on the train. At least then he could think about his mission Lord Voldemort had given him at his Death Eater initiation ceremony. It had taken place a little more than a week ago...
Flashback..........................
The dungeons of Airinew Tower were cold and damp; the perfect place for a Death Eater initiation ceremony. According to Lord Voldemort, at least. Draco was kneeling on the floor in front of Voldemort's throne, along with the other Death Eaters to be. He was positioned in between Crabbe and Goyle. They too were to become Death Eaters.
"Draco, step forward." Voldemort's voice was high, cold and muffled, hidden behind his hood and white mask. It gave Draco shivers every time he heard it. He got up and kneeled less than a foot from foot of his stone throne.
"I officially pronounce you my heir, and with the honor I grant you a quest."
"I would be honored, my lord, to do anything in your name." Draco answered, strangely calm.
"Very good," he said, "Correct answer. You have heard of the Necromancer of Light, I am correct?"
Draco nodded. Who didn't know about him? You opened any magic newspaper and the headlines always mention him. He was always there to save the day, or rescue a village.
"She is to be arriving and attending Hogwarts." She? It was a girl? No one ever had found out. Voldemort continued. "Her name is Alyssa Vapire- Taillon. I want you to befriend her and lure her to me. I will arrange a meeting after you befriend her. If you do, you will be rewarded beyond your wildest dreams. Will you agree to do it?"
"With all of my black heart." Draco replied. Voldemort and all the other Death Eaters laughed in agreement.
Flashback ends.................
Draco was now beginning to regret his decision. Harry's POV
Somebody once asked, "Could you spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place"
I said, "Yep, what a concept, I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change"

(A/N: People have been asking me about the song quotes so here's my explanation: The quote sets the 'mood' of the person's POV and gives you a clue about how the character feels.)
Harry gazed around the platform looking for at least one familiar face. He spotted Ron next to some girl (with electrifying blue hair) chatting with her and started to wade through the crowd in that direction. When he finally reached Ron, he tapped him on the shoulder, making him practically jump a foot in the air out of surprise.
"Harry!" Ron exclaimed, "Nice to finally see you mate!"
"You too. Who's the new girl you're talking to?" Harry asked leaning in talking quietly.
"Harry Potter! I'm ashamed of you! Can't you even recognize you best friend?!" The blue haired girl exclaimed. Harry looked closer at the girl. It indeed, was Hermione.
"I know mate, I didn't recognize her at first either!"
"Don't worry," Hermione said as she saw the shocked look on Harry's face. "It's only temporary, it will come out in a week." Harry looked relieved.
"Now, are we going to go find a compartment or not?" Hermione said. They picked up their luggage and headed towards the train.
